Our Trip to PW Merc - Lunch

After touring the Lodge we headed back to Pawhuska to enjoy lunch.   It was around 12:30.  There was a fairly long line waiting to get in to the restaurant.  After standing in line a few minutes an employee came by with cold bottled water for anyone that wanted some.  We asked how long until we would be in the restaurant and were told 2 1/2 to 3 hours!!  Really!!!
He explained they did have a "Grab and Go Menu".  The items on the  limited menu were boxed and ready to go so you could get them and then sit in the park or other tables provided around the block.  2 1/2 to 3 hours was not what we wanted to do, so we did the "Grab and Go Menu".  This location was a separate entrance north of restaurant entrance.  Amberlea filled out our menu sheet to be turned in: 2 lasagna orders, one order of pot roast with veggies,  and one order of meatballs with mac and cheese.    
Once inside we saw Ladd.  Amberlea and Jett had their picture taken with him.  After giving the counter lady our order sheet she came back from the kitchen and told us there was only 1 lasagna and they did have the meatball dinner.  Well,  what now???  Amberlea changed hers to Asian Salad and I had the ham and Swiss cheese sandwich.  After getting our orders we went across the street to a nice small park area with benches.  The weather was great and the food was very good.
